The Family Stone and Tommy Roe to perform in Ponte Vedra Concert Hall

Funk legends The Family Stone will hit the stage June 15 in th Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, while “An Evening with Tommy Roe” will highlight the singer’s biggest hits on June 17.

The Family Stone

Originally formed by Sly Stone in 1967, The Family Stone was the first fully integrated group in rock history, comprised of men and women, and blacks and whites.

Before The Family Stone, very few soul and R&B groups delved into political and social commentary; after, it became a tradition in soul, funk, and hip-hop.

Along with James Brown, The Family Stone brought hard funk into the mainstream. The Family Stone's arrangements were filled with unexpected group vocals, syncopated rhythms, punchy horns, and pop melodies.

An Evening with Tommy Roe

Tommy Roe is a multifaceted international artist who wrote, co-wrote, and recorded six top ten hits between 1962 and 1969, more than any other single artist/songwriter during this period of the '60s, with four RIAA certified gold records.

Two of his hits, "Sheila" and "Dizzy," topped the Billboard chart at No. 1. Roe had a total of eleven records reach the Billboard top40, and 23 Billboard top 100 chart records. With similar chart success in England, and throughout Europe, Asia, and Australia, Roe is considered one of the early pioneers of American pop culture.

Tickets for both of these seated show will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, April 20. Tickets will be available for purchase at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall and St. Augustine Amphitheatre box offices, ticketmaster.com, and all Ticketmaster outlets.
